some of the matches for ROH Final Battle have been announced, and for the first time in many months of ROH, i am exite.

main event, LADDER WAR between Kevin Steen and El Generico.

this alone is worth the price of admission.

cage match would've been better since they did a ladder match in pwg but i am still interested in watching them fight on since their chemistry is off the charts.

other wrestling forums thoughts on the ME of the final show:
"gave PWG's classics from this year a run for their money"
"****3/4"
"*****"
"*****"

will be stoked when this finally comes out.

I have my doubts you feel this way after you see how it was booked. It was an elimination match but Gargano was "injured." So instead of rolling him into the ring and pinning him (the match had already started) the other three leave Gargano to be attended to by a ref on the outside?!? The crowd knew Gargano was coming back so they talked amongst themselves (literally) and ignored the match until Gargano finally came back. The action was definitely good and there were some awesome spots but the booking and crowd killed it IMO.

Oh also a few times they were breaking up pins in an elimination match?!

Don't get me wrong the match was definitely good (and yayayay elimination matches) but five stars is dumb unless you have some new-aged inflated scale where you go up to seven stars.

In for the New Japan iPPV. Don't expect Tanahashi to drop or MITB to change hands but the card is amazing.

Same for the results. As much as I'd like to see Yujiro pull off a huge upset I want to see Tanahashi vs Okada 3 in the Dome on 1/4 with Okada winning. Yujiro vs Tanahashi will sure be a different kind of main event.

NJPW show was fantastic. Not as good as the last one I guess overall(?) but so much better than WWE for half the price. I am done with WWE and going to be watching nothing but ROH/DGUSA/NJPW iPPVs from now on.

Shocked that the show hasn't come out yet . Want to see Tana do his thing.

big news for WK VII:
I have no idea who the **** Shibata or Sakuraba are but lots of people are excited to watch them and seeing as they're on the upper card it should be good. I've heard a lot about Shibata but have yet to see him wrestle. Going to find some clips on youtube and matches on theditch.us. Them having the faith to do another 3 way just shows how good the 3 way will be, can't wait for that match.

omg that will be awesome. i also don't know who those two are you mentioned but meh whatever.

I hope Takahashi is on the card somewhere too, he is entertaining. I <3 Tanahashi but think Okada is going over for sure.

i could say this about nearly everybody on the NJPW roster. Takahashi is one of my personal favorites but I even find Cpt. NJPW incredibly entertaining. Also much to Taichi

Yeah, I think Tanahashi is going to beat Okada about as much as I think Punk would beat Taker at WM if it were to happen. Okada not winning at WK would be a disaster. I don't think they'd have him lose back to Tanahashi again so who could take it? Hopefully he holds till the next WK.

Apparently Daichi Hashimoto (son of NJPW legend Shinya) is signed to wrestle which is going to be off the charts. Check out some of his work from Zero-1 if you haven't seen him.

He is Sakuraba:

(Contains few broken arms at the end.)

Also, count me in as one who can't wait for the January show.

Sakuraba is a boss.

So wrapped up in watching old WWF stuff I didn't even realize there was a NJPW ippv last night until I saw a results thread for it (that i didn't open ). It's already uploaded and can't wait to watch . I don't expect amazing from this though since it's just the Tag League finals but it does have Tanahashi/Okada in a tag match since it's the go home ppv to WK7. Match 7 will probably be really good.

NJPW, 12/2/12 (WPW/iPPV)

Tag League finals looks like it's going to be Archer/Smith vs Goto/Anderson.

Definitely a good show (again) from New Japan. There was one match that turned into a schmoz that I was looking forward to but good stuff heading to WK7.

Evolve 18 had some good action but felt kind of flat overall thanks to a ****ty crowd. I want to watch the VOD though.

CZW Cage Of Death 14 is only 2.5 matches in but has been awesome and hilarious so far. Will be doing a write-up of this one for sure.

NEW JACK!!

czw, ill pass.

next weeks ROH Final Battle, tho.

will be ordering.

I need to whip out all my puro VHS/DVD stuff someday and just have a marathon. I swear I must have tens of thousands of hours of footage I ordered from Jeff Lynch for some absurd amount back in the day. That catalog he used to send out was hilarious though. He actually still e-mails me every month lol.
